If Sussex was a country...

[Notters]

There would always be border tensions at Emsworth, against Hants.

There already are. My in-laws live there.

 

[atfc village]

Would the likes of Bognor hold international friendlies v the likes of Andorra ,San Marino and Gibralter?

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Are you suggesting a union with Surrey?

No way! We'll annex hamshire, kent and maybe middlesex. Who would realise? *evil putin laugh*

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Would we be in the EU and would we be allowed monetary union with the rest of the UK? Sounds familiar?

Also, we'll have to frack as that might be our only natural resource.

Fish?

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

You would need to import a decent ale.

No you wouldn't. Plenty of great brewery's in Sussex even for those that don't like Harveys.

Harveys?

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Lets annex the what used to be Wessex as well! We could have a United states of x kind of model. Then we would have more natural resources and better at sports if we united. We could be called 'United Republic of Anglo Saxony' A reference to when saxons had the four saxon 'realms' South Saxons = Sussex. Middle Saxons = Middlesex. West Saxons Wessex. And uhhh forget about essex.

It would defeat the purpose of being independent tho if we did that so the only option is to build offshore sea bases on the sea like oil rigs and use them to expand. Sussex empire.

Day 1: And the liberal masses of inner Brighton already express a wish to divorce their regional union with the outer suburbs..

Day 2: Green party elect monarch and enforce authoritarian laws forcing us to live side by side with animals. Meat eaters are hung.

 

[Ravids]

If we had a premier league of 12 teams they would consist of (Based on last seasons standings)

1. Brighton
2. Crawley
3. Eastboune Borough
4. Whitehawk
5. Bognor Regis
6. Lewes
7. Peacehaven
8. Hastings Utd
9. Burgess Hill
10. Worthing
11. Horsham
12. Three Bridges

The championship would be what is now county league 1

Reckon we would just about finish top 4 then.

Who would be 1,2,3?

This is true,the Hants Brigade will never let us dump that craphole Emsworth on them,they will fight to the death to make Emsworth remain part of Sussex

 

[fataddick]

In our team fielded of only 'sussex' born players....what would our team even look like. Solly March, Sami El Abd and Adam El Abd, Lewis Dunk.....

Pretty sure Gareth Barry would make the squad.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

No you wouldn't. Plenty of great brewery's in Sussex even for those that don't like Harveys.

I know, I know I was feeling very mischievous and could not resist the temptation to go straight for the jugular for many on here.

 

[Norman Potting]

There is a already a precedent, Tunbridge Wells and Lamberhurst used to be in Sussex I believe so already two potential border flashpoints. Also Tenterden is wasted in Kent.

 

[Postman Pat]

We could add 3 runways to Gatwick and make it an international flight hub bigger than Heathrow.

Sussex could play in the 20/20 world cup..... and loose.

Are we going to build a big wall around the border ? Keep the Kent/Surrey/Hants riff raff out ? Border controls ?

World champion sparkling wine production.

Plus we can also nick Hawkhurst back from Kent
